Well, I've had my TMod for about 2 months now and I am NOT impressed. Worst 350+ I've ever spent. I've tried different batteries, multiple atty's, numerous builds and I'm lucky if it ever fires. From day one, it occasionally fired, taken it fully apart 3 times and made sure everything is clean and still nothing. I'll stick with my REO's.
What I did was loosen the nut on the inside of mod and then take a screwdriver and back the pin out a bit to better meet the atty. adjust it accordingly and you should be good to go. Hope this helps.
There's really nothing to go wrong. Either not making contact as mentioned above, or dirty contacts. Neg contact can be fine sanded. Circle of sandpaper on the end of a bit of dowel will get in there.

Is it by chance one thats been ceracoted? Mine had over the ceracote inside where the part with the atty sits and was doing simular. I took some wet dry sand paper and removed it and it resolved to issue.

Well, I just figured it out, it doesn't like my Sony VTC4's for some reason, any other battery works fine, figure THAT one out. Anyways, happy with my Tmod now, and I take back that it was a bad buy.
Well, my VTC4's work in EVERYTHING else but not the Tmod. VTC4 batteries have ALWAYS been my favorites.
Maybe it's not making contact? A while back tom mentioned the use of round magnets on the negative side to ensure contact as well as eliminating the need to bend the positive contact. I know my vtc4's are slightly taller than my Samsungs so there's that.
Red Alert! People..I have a TMod Dually ..the older model, not the Microdually. Today I pulled out the batteries to replace them after around 3 days of use and nearly 10 ml of juice. One of the batteries as at 4.08 volts while the other was at 3.08 volts. The batteries (brown LGs) were paired for as long as I remember. Now this could very well be dirty contacts but the difference is too big for a comfortable explanation like this one. Anybody with experience with the dually to pitch in? Also am I right in assuming that I shouldn't pair these batteries again?

Wow, Tamer, it looks like only 1 battery was making contact. The other one is still basically fully charged. I don't have one of the TMod duallys, but have other dual battery mods. I'd check out your contacts. Something there isn't making contact. As far as using them again, I've seen where one charge cycle difference won't really matter. Just as long as they are the same brand, basically the same amount of charge/discharge cycles, you should be OK. Is this mod a parallel mod? If so, use one battery and test the voltage at the 510. If it reads, switch to the other side and try it again. If something isn't making, you'll find it there. If it's series, check for the 8+ volts at the 510. But don't use the mod until you find your problem.

Thanks my friend. This is a good advice. It's a parallel mod. I'll put them both in the charger and give the mod a good cleaning and take it from there.

Parallel batteries are more forgiving than series, in terms of pairing. It can be an open marriage a bit
And yeah, just clean it. Strip it down and bath in iso or acetone overnight
